Question ID: 43766
I need to know how many employees work for CNN, CNN Headline News,
MSNBC, Fox News Channel, and CNBC. If you go to CNN it will say they
have a news staff of over 4,000 around the world. I need to know a
more specific number like how many employees it takes to actually
operate the networks. Also, I would like to know how many people work
for weatherbug, yahoo.com, accuweather.com, MSN.com,AOL (just AOL, not
AOL/Time Warner), weatherunderground, CNN Espanol, ESPN Desportes,
ect.
Any information is helpful and I have to know the source. 
Remember its the segments of the companies that i want to know
employee number for not the whole company.

Thanks!

Dear ChezLeigh:  

Here are the number of employees as of late 2001 or early 2002 [except
where noted; see source below]

CNN - 3950 employees
CNN Sports Illustrated - 74 employees
CNN Headline News - 230 employees [1998]
Cable News Network - 2200 employees
MSNBC - 450 employees
MSNBC.com - 350 employees
Fox News Channel - 880 employees [2001]
CNBC - 400 employees

weatherbug - could not find
yahoo! Broadcast  - 227
accuweather.com - 400
MSN.com - could not find
AOL Interactive Services - 135 employees
AOL/Time Warner - 89,300
weatherunderground - could not find
CNN Espanol - could not find

sources: 
All information was acquired from a proprietary subscription based
data base called OneSource.  The number of employees for Fox and
Headline news were found indirectly, through articles on job cuts, as
indicated below, from same database.  However, these articles (and
sort of information) can also be found in LexisNexis, another source
of news articles.
1) Cuts are Part of Big Changes at CNN, Multichannel News, January 22,
2001
2) Headline News will cut 70 jobs, Multichannel News, page 5, May 04,
1998

I hope this is what you were looking for,
